Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
Mostly left side sleeper with a pillow under the neck and a pillow on the side for leverage.
ReplyDeletePositive vibes for today!!!
It all depends on where I'm sleeping. If I'm in my recliner I lay all the way back with usually one leg bent and a heating pad on my back. If I'm in bed I'm more of a stomach/side sleeper. I flip and flop because laying on either side gives me hip pointer issues after a little while so then I'm on my tummy, which I like the most I'd say.
ReplyDeleteI'm generally a side sleeper with one pillow, and it has to be soft and squishy. I start on my right side but I will flip back and forth through the night. Once something on my right side gets stiff or sore, I roll to my left until I feel uncomfortable there, and then roll back to my right. Most of the time I'll wake up on my right side. And there are always the weird times where only sleeping on my back feels comfortable, usually when I am having digestive issues.
ReplyDeleteI have neck and back issues so have a pile of pillows arranged while I sleep on my left side.
ReplyDeleteSending you many positive vibes for your day!
Good luck! Hope it goes smoothly.

Side sleeper, either side but mostly facing the edge of the bed furthest from the door (so right side at home, but often left side when travelling based on how the room I'm staying in is set up). One firm pillow, and a body pillow for alignment.
